TAILCOAT

　　I came to wear a tailcoat. My second daughter legally got married last year, but wasn't able to have a party due to the coronavirus pandemic. She and her husband still wanted to have their wedding party and planned it on Sept. 23rd, which accidentally falls on my birthday.
　　I wrongly assumed that I had only to smile, eat and drink during the party, but I had to walk with my daughter on the virgin road. I'm so shy to do such a flashy act, but the young couple pestered me to show up on the road and I reluctantly agreed with their request.
　　The following picture was shot in the fitting room. I thought it was the first and last opportunity to wear the tailcoat.
